Norrie, If you could check a couple that I thought might have been buried in Dysart but lived mostly in the Wemyss.
John Thomson d? Euphemia Burt d 1886
My 96 year old aunt had told me that my g.granfather Robert Andrew Dunsmuir was buried in East Wemyss cemetery and there were a number of family names on his gravestone. Has she got the wrong graveyard?

Norrie, #31 Margaret Thomson is my direct descendant and she married Peter Patterson and died in Dunfermline in 1902. I have copies of the IGI’s of all the births you mentioned.
#1899 is my gran and grandad & #105 would have to be my g.g.aunt. Fanny Thomson.
Could I have copies of them?  I appreciate the time and effort you put in. Thanks. Pete.

Thankyou so much for the photos Norrie. I was at my grandfather's funeral in 1968 and for some reason didn't think there was a headstone.
